Reminiscences of the Shorthand Congress. 35 



The Chairman said that he had listened to the lecture with 

 peculiar interest, as he had become acquainted with wonders in 

 connection with the art of shorthand he never dreamt of before. 

 He could bear evidence, however, to the practical utility of 

 shorthand outside of the newspaper office, where its immense 

 value cannot be disputed. In private and commercial life it 

 has become a great factor, and is used with the utmost 

 advantage by thousands of people throughout the world.
